The seasons are changing on the Island of
Chez Shaker Family. Little R is no longer receiving ABA - so now, we are blessed to have his cheerful happy laughter chasing us for biting his belly! :) We've also taken him out of after school care. I've enjoyed every moment of the time with him and Little S - I've also endured the aches and pains of them jumping on and away from me.
Little S speaks a LOT now. She can add the word "too" after a sentence. She uses "please" and "thank you" as well as "no thank you!" frequently. She has a very strong will. For some reason, she puts up the
feistiest cries and
elongations of the body (you know what I mean when you try to pick up a toddler and the toddler stretches to make
carrying a most difficult task).
I think Little S has actually been the BEST "therapy" for Little R. They love each other. Little S would boss him around saying "No,
Goagoa, no!" or "
Goagoa,
hol-d my hand,
Goagoa." It's really quite funny how she makes "hold" into a two syllable word. Of course when Little R gets too much of her, watch that swipe! He's a really strong little guy. We teach him to be gentle, and he's learning.
Many changes in place. The house must be kept tidy and clean at all times - Mommy - that's me - hardly has time for herself and the computer to do any "work". But keeping my family well fed, dressed, cleaned and sheltered is top priority.
DH and I have started working with Little R. I really love the basis of our program based on the Son-Rise Program.
Alas, must go to bed now. Sweet slumber, here I come.
